Didn't play this when it came out on console. Might check it out. I don't care about the big tits and nice ass in a game, but is the gameplay any good? Challenging with depth?

I haven't gotten around to the full game yet but spent at least 5 hours in the demo just messing around with the combat and farming. Jokes in here aside, I couldn't give a shit less about the protag's design. If anything, I find it silly.

I'm no Char Action or Fighting expert but I've been playing, and loved, them all from DMC to Ninja Gaiden to Bayonetta and so on. I had a lot of fun with this combat system and felt like there was a lot of opportunity to style on enemies, new moves to unlock and all. It's absolutely not just Titties: The Game and everyone forgets about the gameplay quality imo. I really liked it and bpught it in spite of that.

Kind of unrelated, but me buying depends on this question. With it having denuvo will I be able to play it on my legion go without Internet?

Denuvo, afaik, requires online at first launch, after updates or hardware changes and periodically. Dunno if the time frame for periodic checks are developer or denuvo mandated.

So long as you launch it the first time with online you should be okay for a bit. But the longer you stay offline the more likely you are to run into needing reverification.

Okay that should be fine, my device is connected pretty much every day at home. I just like to take it with me to work.
 
Just crossed 176k. Puts it ahead of the likes of Resident Evil 4 Remake, Fall Guys and Manor Lords. The 180k range has GTAV enhanced, Satisfactory and Warframe.
 
I think there's a pretty decent chance it sells better than on PS. It took 2 months for it to sell 1 million on PS5. With 173K CCUs on Steam before the weekend, 1 million in a week seems plausible.

I didn't think it would sell anywhere near as well, but what do I know?

Wow. Impressive. I am glad to see a game like this do well. Message sent. I wonder if it will be received. Game journalists are baffled.

You give the public what they want in a game + denuvo to prevent piracy = good numbers.

I doubt Denuvo plays a role here. There are enough games which have proven this already. It just seems to be a good game with sexy characters and thats basically all it needs to be successful.
 
I didn't see this title crushing it on Steam like that. Those numbers are straight-up wild for a year old single player game. Looks like the Chuds are backing up their big talk with actual cash, probably because they're out here buying and playing video games for real instead of online cosplaying as gamers. Another rare W for the incel crew.
 
I hope that the industry takes notice.

If I wanted to spend my time looking at ugly "realist depictions of our diverse society" I would spend my free time at the fucking mall (or in front of the mirror). I play to have fun and have some deserved escapism.

A 7/10 gooner game beating the likes of Expedition 33 and RE4 remake is kind of wild. But quality is like 5th on the list of importance to most PC gamers so it is what it is I suppose.

If the game is like 7/10 but making incredible number on Steam, it is sending a message that beautiful character design does matter.

It was always weird how realism was the excuse used. If it's about realism, why is it only about bodies? Like no one has ever complained about characters not depicting realistic combat skills.
 
If I was a gaming CEO I would just outsource all game development out of North America. Asian studios make games faster and on budget. Most importantly making games that appeal to people who buy games.
 
Happy to see this doing so well.

Remember the criticism the studio was receiving because of the character models. Glad they stuck to their guns and got the acclaim the game deserves

Can't wait for what they do next.

The message that it's okay to make mid, rip-off better games like Nier and give your character zero personality as long as she has pornstar proportions? Oh joy.

If you check out the girl after which Eve is modeled, you will realize that Eve isnt even unrealistic. 🤷‍♂️

This is a classic ERA ignorant take.

Considering that the combat is miles ahead of Nier, enemy desig is better, bosses are memorable and graphics are so much better, your post couldnt be any wronger.

Nier has better music (not by much) and much better story / game structure. That's about it.
